Here’s the audio along with accompanying slides of our recent GI Joe/Transformers lineage panel.

I’m back from vacation, and I’ve got a special feature. I spent some time interviewing Jim Beard, author of a Kindle Worlds GI Joe novella based in the Adventure Team era of the 1970s.

It’s a little late in coming, but the annual podcast is now live. It also finally has a title.

To celebrate another year of the blog, and make even more work for myself, I brought together a group of readers and all around cool GI Joe friends to talk about (what else?) GI Joe.

Also on the show, I debut a segment called Knock It Off, in which I begin to cover the many GI Joe knock-offs from years past. First
